The object of our invention is to provide a device for sawing wood smoothly and rapidly; and the nature of the invention consists in the combination of devices employed, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the drawing,A is a frame formed of a single piece of metal bent to the desired form, and provided at each of its ends with a socket.
